Major breakthrough in stem cell therapeutics

10.11.09 by Atif Towheed

A team of Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) researchers have produced induced pluripotent (cells which have the capability to regenerate into any organ) stem (iPS) cells from adult cells.

…a patient with Parkinson�s disease might be treated with neurons created from his own cells, theoretically eliminating the need for immunosuppressive drugs, or the possibility of rejection of the transplanted cells. Similarly, patient-specific iPS cells could be used to create muscle for damaged hearts, or other individualized treatments.
